Another Happy Bottom instalment. Major Payne has to do battle with the cock Napoleon, who now rules Rooster's Folly. Can the cock be tamed? *As I've said, targeting 7-8 year olds (9?). I hope they'll be fun to read, or for younger children to listen to. All comments much appreciated. Regards 

The original version was several pages long and probably more suited to adults. I've changed it completely, and hope it's more suited to children 7 - 8 years old. I'd appreciate comments if anyone's got the time to review this poem. Many thanks. 

This is the prelude to the Happy Bottom sagas. It tells how Major Payne inherited Happy Bottom from his Uncle Derry Ayres. Age group - 7 -8 ? Think Happy Bottom will be suitable for fluent readers, good for practising reading aloud and also fun bedtime stories. If anyone has children of this age, would appreciate your views. Generally, all comments very welcome, of course.
